Turkish based series Dirilis Ertugrul has gathered a cult following in Pakistan and they just can’t get enough of it, from celebrities to locals, everyone’s in love!
In an interview earlier, Hareem Shah too revealed that she’s a fan of the show and especially Esra Bilgiç who plays Halime Sultan in the series. Hareem then shared, “If I am offered to play the role like Halime Sultan, I will definitely accept it.” She further added, “The role of Halime Sultan is very difficult, but I will do so as it will increase the knowledge of our history.”
